I really like Fire and Ice as superheroes, but wish they had better comics than these.
(Love them in the 2000s Booster Gold series)

Congratulations. I am now 4x more likely to watch Predator: Badlands. This sounds dope.
This feels the same as the anti-woke crowd complaining about “Mad Max: Fury Road” or 2025 Superman, two movies I love.

Me: Wow, Blood on the Clocktower is really fun! How much does the physical main game cost?

On a nature walk with my partner. Found a very well-camouflaged bug.
(I think it’s a juvenile jumping spider but I’m not 100% sure. Little guy is tiny. Maybe a centimeter long.)

Oh dip, I'm late with my Blood, Bath, and Beyond update! We won. Again. Fifth time in six weeks. We're the heel champions of the bar now.
A few of our good gets this time were Nelson Mandela's prisoner number, how to cook tamales, and the many names of the Lady of the Lake.

In around 3 weeks RGG Studio is holding an event where fans can pay the equivalent of around $980 US to MARRY the Like a Dragon character of their choice.
…and this one’s (mostly) for the ladies.

I started out as a Pugilist because I like FF Monks, but as I played more I ultimately became a tank main* to this day.

This went buttery-smooth. Probably my easiest Typhon fight.
I got a 765-damage Hephaestus blast every 2.2 seconds and 310-damage Zeus blitzes about as often 😂.

#RollCredits on Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles
The new script and voice work are outstanding, and it’s still the same game I fell in love with 20+ years ago. The best version of all-time classic.

Blood, Bath, & Beyond took home a win once again! We had some stumbles in the second half but pulled through!
This week I must thank Mary Shelley, Boston Terriers, and the fact that feta cheese comes primarily from sheep’s milk and not goat’s milk for the victory.

Did some more catching up to current DC Comics over the last several days.
All of these are EXCELLENT. It’s a struggle not to spend money to read them a month earlier instead of continuing on the DCUI app.
(Poison Ivy, Birds of Prey, Batman & Robin: Year One, and Krypto: Last Dog of Krypton).

The PlayStation 2 turned 25 yesterday. These are my four favorite PS2 games:
(One dirty secret of that era is that the PS2 was a better console for platforming games than the GameCube or N64)

#RollCredits on Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail
Dawntrail is... Good FF14, but not Peak FF14. Endwalker is breathtaking; Dawntrail is merely very good. But I had a great time getting there!

Blood, Bath, and Beyond coasted to victory at bar trivia last night! We only got a few bonus questions wrong and were in first place throughout.
A few of our key questions yesterday concerned knowing that “spiegel” is German for “mirror,” the TV show Smallville, and Archimedes’ Principle.

I just got all 21 combat jobs in FFXIV to level 90. Plus an additional two at level 100.
The reward for getting all 21 at 90 is... disappointing?

I started a pull list at my local comic shop for the first time since 2014.
(Only picking up four right now, and I’d like to keep it to a maximum of six.)

I’ve been slowly traipsing through Final Fantasy Tacrics, a game I adore but haven’t played seriously in something like 14 years.

I read some New 52 comics I had in storage and… woof.
I bought into the relaunch hype HARD in 2011-2013 but fell off quite sharply after. DC Comics is in a much stronger place now than they were 10+ years ago.
(Forever Evil is pretty good, the others are NOT)
(And yes I’m writing a blog post)
